Mary-Alice

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

I’m a sweet girl who’s had a bit of a tricky start in life, so I’m looking for a special family who can be patient with me while I learn to trust the world a little more. The basics like housetraining and recall don’t come easily to me, and I still need some help building them up. But I’m a good girl at heart, and with gentle, consistent training I know I can get there. I just need someone who’ll celebrate the small wins with me. I also need my leaving hours built up gradually. I find being on my own quite scary, so I’d love a home where I can be eased into alone time slowly and kindly. Here’s the thing that really helps me shine: other dogs. Having a doggy friend (or two!) in the home makes me feel so much braver and more confident. I’m at my happiest and most relaxed when I’ve got a four-legged pal by my side to show me the ropes. I could live with sensible children aged 11 and over — I’d do well with calm, respectful kids who understand I need a little time and space to feel comfortable. My perfect home would also have a secure garden with 6ft fencing. You see, I love to explore, but I need to be able to do it safely — and knowing I can wander without worry would mean the world to me. If you think you could offer me a patient, understanding home with a doggy companion and a safe space to explore, I’d love to meet you. I promise to give you all my love in return.

About Mary-Alice

What life with Mary-Alice looks like

Mary-Alice is a small young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Jerry Green Dog Rescue in Lincoln.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Mary-Alice, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Mary-Alice?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Jerry Green Dog Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Mary-Alice on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Mary-Alice if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Jerry Green Dog Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Mary-Alice already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Mary-Alice isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Jerry Green Dog Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know Mary-Alice and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
